Product Information

Full details

This guide is for engineers and technicians working with electrical connections requiring a robust and flexible header connector. The TruConnect 8-Way Header offers a secure side-entry connection with a 7.62mm pitch, simplifying wire management in a horizontal orientation. A key benefit is its open-ended design, allowing for easier insertion and removal. However, users should be mindful of its specific voltage and current ratings to avoid overloads.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the pitch of this header connector?

The pitch of this header connector is 7.62mm.

What is the maximum voltage and current this header can handle?

This header is rated for a maximum voltage of 300V and a maximum current of 15A.

Can I use this connector for both signal and power applications?

Yes, provided the signal or power requirements are within the 300V and 15A ratings of the connector.

What type of wires can be terminated into the open ends?

This connector is typically designed for solid and stranded wires. Please consult specific documentation for supported wire gauges.

How does the 'open ended' design benefit the user?

The open-ended design allows for easier insertion and termination of wires directly into the connector housing.

Is this header suitable for high-vibration environments?

While designed for reliable connections, for extremely high-vibration environments, consider additional locking mechanisms or appropriate connector series.

What is the orientation of the connection?

This is a right-angle, side-entry header, meaning connections are made horizontally to the PCB at a 90-degree angle.

Troubleshooting

No connection established between header and mating connector.

Check that the mating connector is fully seated and aligned correctly. Inspect header pins for any damage or solder defects on the PCB.

Intermittent signal or power loss.

Ensure wires are securely terminated in the open ends. Check for any signs of corrosion or loose connections. Verify that the current draw does not exceed the 15A rating.

Header not sitting flush on PCB.

Re-check solder joints and ensure no excess solder is preventing proper seating. Verify PCB pad dimensions match header pin requirements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies wiring with a clear 8-pole configuration.
  • Horizontal orientation aids in neat cable management.
  • Open-ended design allows for easier wire termination.
  • Right-angle form factor is space-efficient on PCBs.
  • Durable construction suitable for industrial environments.

Cons

  • Fixed 7.62mm pitch may not suit all applications.
  • Open-ended design requires careful handling to prevent damage.
  • Limited to 300V and 15A, not suitable for high-power systems.
  • Side entry might be restrictive in very tight spaces compared to top entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the header is compatible with your PCB layout and mating connector.
  2. Solder the header pins to the designated pads on the PCB, ensuring correct orientation.
  3. For the wires, strip the appropriate length of insulation and insert them into the open ends of the connector. Ensure a firm connection is made with the internal terminals.

Compatibility:

  • This header is designed for use with mating connectors that have a 7.62mm pitch.
  • Verify that the voltage (300V) and current (15A) ratings are suitable for your application's requirements.
  • It is compatible with solid and stranded wires within the supported gauge range (refer to specific wire gauge compatibility if available).

Care:

  • Keep the connector clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air for cleaning.
  • Avoid exposing the connector to excessive moisture or corrosive substances.
  • Handle the open ends with care to prevent damage to the internal contacts.
